Thanks for the info.  iperf (and its gui front-end jperf) seem to be the
ticket for me.  Sucks that I'll have to find a PC for each end, but c'est la
vie.

There's a pretty sparse mailing list operating from Sourceforge for iperf.
Is that the best place to go for help if I need it?

I'll probably go that route if necessary, or string a CAT-6 cable (over
300ft, but will probably work), but I've already had these D-Link boxes
lying around and they seem to connect okay.  Like I said, I need to evaluate
the reliability of the link for more than a few minutes at a time.

I appreciate the help.  Thanks.
